Definitions

  • the invention relates to an air filter element with a cylindrical tube-shaped filter bellows, which is each end closed with an end plate and a method for producing
  • End plates are necessary in order to make a seal of the filter element in an air filter housing and to force the intended radial flow path through the filter bellows.
  • At least one end disk has an annular sealing body on the outside facing away from the filter bellows.
  • the sealing body is conventionally made by inserting the end disk into a casting shell and then filling a liquid, polymeric material which flows into an annular aperture or depression on the end plate and / or the casting shell. After curing or crosslinking, the casting shell is removed so that a sealing surface is exposed at the end plate in the area of the previously existing annular gap.
  • the production shown is time consuming and correspondingly expensive. Due to the curing time or the necessary time for crosslinking of the polymeric material, a certain, non-shortenable cycle time in the series production of Fiiterettin is necessary.
  • the object of the invention is thus to be able to produce generic air filter elements faster and cheaper.
  • an end plate comprises an air filter element outwardly facing support member which is iaseriichi trimelle at least in some areas, and a filter bellows facing connection layer, which at least in some areas is laser light absorbing and which sealingly connects the filter bellows with the carrier element.
  • Such an end plate has the advantage that a welding with a filter bellows on laser beams is possible and thus no pot lives of adhesives must be considered in the manufacture of the air filter element.
  • the carrier element is irradiated, the underlying connection layer melts at least partially, so that the Füterbalg can be pressed with its front side in the melt of the connecting layer and thus a mechanical connection between the filter bellows and end plate is made and a seal is effected.
  • Error spots in the connection or detachment of the connecting layer from the carrier element can be recognized from the outside through the transparent carrier element when the connection layer is chosen sufficiently thin.
  • a layer thickness of 3 mm is sufficient to securely connect the filter bellows to the end plate.
  • the bonding layer consists of a thermoplastic elastomer, which can be produced by injection molding.
  • the tie layer can be made in a separate body, which is then combined with the body forming the support member of the end plate.
  • both layers are produced at the same time by means of 2 component injection molding.
  • a further advantage is when the end plate is the same equipped with a ring seal in order to produce a sealing connection of the air filter element with an air filter housing without separate seals must be made and installed.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that the support element of the end plate has at least one exposed to the outside sealing body, which passes in particular through a recess in the support member of the end plate and connected to the inside of the end plate with the connecting layer o ⁇ even integrally with this together is trained. This means that no further production steps have to be made.
  • a transparent carrier element that is to say a carrier element, which to a predominant extent! is transmissive to the light radiation of an inserted laser device with a specific wavelength is irradiated.
  • the laser radiation which has passed through the carrier element is absorbed in the connecting layer at least to such an extent that softening or melting of the connecting layer takes place. Duration and intensity of the irradiation are chosen so that the fastest possible melting is achieved, so that the heat input into the adjacent transparent support member is kept as low as possible and deformation of the transparent support member is largely avoided.
  • the filter bellows only needs to be pressed into the melt.
  • the cooling leads to the re-solidification of the connecting layer, embedded with the solidification in the thermoplastic mass edge regions of the Fiiterbalgs.
  • a receiving element is used, which is also at least in those portions of laser light transmissive, behind which are melted areas of the connecting layer to position. Otherwise, the manufacturing process remains unchanged.
  • the receiving element supports the end plate and helps to maintain the geometry of the carrier element under the influence of heat.
  • the use of an additional receiving element in the production is advantageous if connecting layer and sealing body are made in one piece and form a connecting element.
  • the sealing body then emerges at an annular opening of the end plate to the outside, wherein the outer side of the end plate in the manufacturing process is always the downwardly swept surface. Without additional support, it could lead to a flow out of the melt and thus to the destruction of the already preformed seal.
  • a particularly profiled support portion of the receiving element is positioned in particular below the outwardly penetrating sealing body.
  • An additional support portion may be in the form of a flute-shaped edge which is positioned inside a central recess in the annular end disc with a spacing with respect to the inner edge of the annular end disc which corresponds to the thickness of a sealing lip to be formed there. Without an additional support portion, the formation of a radially acting sealing lip on the end plate would not be possible.
  • the receiving element for the end plate thus represents in this variant of the method according to the invention is a casting shell, which contributes to the formation of parts of the seal body and the connecting body.
  • FIG. 1 a filter element in a perspective view
  • Fig. 2 shows a detail of a filter element of a first embodiment in a section
  • Fig. 3 shows a filter element of a second embodiment in a section detail.
  • Fig. 1 shows an air filter element 10 with a cylindrical tube-shaped filter bellows 11 made of an air-permeable filter medium. At both end faces each end plates 20 are placed and connected airtight with the filter bellows 11. At least one of the end disks 20 is, at least in the use state of the air filter element 10, annular, so that a central inner flow channel is opened.
  • Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of an end plate 20 with a matching receiving element 200, in which it is inserted.
  • the end plate 20 comprises a lower support element 21 and a connection layer 22.1 located above it.
  • a filter bellows 11 is attached.
  • the receiving element 200 supports a sealing body 22.2, which occurs at an opening of the outer support member 21 on the end plate 20 to the outside.
  • the Sealing body 22. 2 is connected to the actual connecting layer 22. 1, so that an integral connecting element 22 is formed, which is fixedly connected to the carrier element 21.
  • Receiving element 200 and support member 21 of the end plate 20 are permeable to the laser light, which is irradiated according to the arrows in Fig. 2 from below and reaches into the connecting layer 22.1, where it is absorbed. Subsequently, only the filter bellows 11 still needs to be sunk into the melt thus produced in the bonding layer 22.1 and the process for the other side of the filter bellows repeated to complete the production of the air filter element according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of an end disk 20 "with an associated receptacle 200.
  • an axial sealing portion 22, 2 ' is supported by a supporting portion 202' of the receiving element 200 '
  • An inner annular section 23 'of the end plate 20' is intended to be covered at least partially with its lip surface by a lip seal, for which purpose a support section 203 'is formed on the receiving element 200 "which serves as a die for forming the lip seal.
  • a cavity 205' is formed, in which the lip seal is formed.
  • the support member 21 'of the end plate 20' as well as the Conseiement 200 ' are again permeable to laser light of a certain wavelength, which is radiated from below through the receiving element 200' and the support member 21 'until the bonding layer 22' melts.
  • a projection is on the ring portion 23 'of the support member 20 ⁇ provided which allows latching of the end plate 20' to a compatible projection on the ring portion 203 'of the receiving element 200'.
  • the end plate 20 'thus hangs during the entire manufacturing process in a defined position on the receiving element 200', so that in particular the tightness is granted at the transitions and an uncontrolled outflow of melt is prevented.

Beschreibung
Luftfilterelement mit transparenten Endscheiben und Herstellungsverfahren
Technisches Gebiet
[0001] Die Erfindung betrifft ein Luftfilterelement mit einem zylinderrohrförmigen Filterbalg, der endseitig jeweils mit einer Endscheibe verschlossen ist sowie ein Verfahren zu Herstellung,
Stand der Technik
[0002] Endscheiben sind notwendig, um eine Abdichtung des Filterelements in einem Luftfiltergehäuse vornehmen zu können und den vorgesehenen radialen Strömungsweg durch den Filterbalg zu erzwingen. Wenigstens eine Endscheibe weist an der vom Filterbalg weg weisenden Außenseite einen ringförmigen Dichtungskörper auf. Der Dichtungskörper wird herkömmlich so hergestellt, dass die Endscheibe in eine Gießschale eingesetzt wird und dann ein flüssiger, polymerer Werkstoff eingefüllt wird, der in eine ringförmige Durchbrechung oder Vertiefung an der Endscheibe und/oder der Gießschale fließt. Nach dem Aushärten bzw. Vernetzen wird die Gießschale entfernt, so dass im Bereich des vorher vorhandenen Ringspalts eine Dichtungsfläche an der Endscheibe offen liegt.
[0003] Die dargestellte Fertigung ist jedoch zeitaufwendig und entsprechend kostenintensiv. Aufgrund der Aushärtezeit bzw. der notwendigen Zeit zur Vernetzung des polymeren Werkstoffs ist eine bestimmte, nicht verkürzbare Zykluszeit bei der Serienfertigung von Fiiterelementen notwendig. [0004] Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es somit, gattungsgemäße Luftfilterelemente schneller und kostengünstiger herstellen zu können.
Offenbarung der Erfindung
[0005] Diese Aufgabe werden bei einem Luftfilterelement mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 dadurch gelöst, dass eine Endscheibe ein am Luftfilterelement nach außen gewandtes Trägerelement umfasst, welches wenigstens in Teilbereichen iaseriichidurchlässig ist, und eine zum Filterbalg gewandte Verbindungsschicht, welche wenigstens in Teilbereichen laser- lichtabsorbierend ist und welche den Filterbalg dichtend mit dem Trägerele- ment verbindet.
[0006] Eine solche Endscheibe bietet den Vorteil, dass eine Verschweißung mit einem Filterbalg über Laserstrahlen möglich ist und damit keine Topfzeiten von Klebstoffen mehr bei der Fertigung des Luftfilterelements beachtet werden müssen.
[0007] Das Trägerelement wird durchstrahlt, die dahinter liegende Verbindungsschicht schmilzt wenigstens teilweise an, so dass der Füterbalg mit seiner Stirnseite in die Schmelze der Verbindungsschicht gedrückt werden kann und damit eine mechanische Verbindung zwischen Filterbalg und Endscheibe hergestellt ist und eine Abdichtung bewirkt ist. Fehistellen in der Verbindung oder Ablösungen der Verbindungsschicht von der Trägereiement sind von außen durch die transparente Trägerelement hindurch erkennbar, wenn die Verbindungsschicht hinreichend dünn gewählt ist. Üblicherweise reicht eine Schichtdicke von 3 mm aus, um den Filterbalg sicher mit der Endscheibe zu verbinden.
[0008] Vorzugsweise besteht die Verbindungsschicht aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer, das im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt werden kann. Die Verbindungsschicht kann in einem separaten Körper hergestellt werden, der dann mit dem Körper, der das Trägerelement der Endscheibe bildet, kombiniert ist. Vorzugsweise werden jedoch beide Schichten zugleich mittels 2 Komponentenspritzgießen hergestellt.
[0009] Vorteilhaft ist weiterhin, wenn die Endscheibe gleich mit einer Ringdichtung ausgestattet ist, um eine dichtende Verbindung des Luftfilterelements mit einem Luftfiltergehäuse herstellen zu können, ohne dass separate Dichtungen hergestellt und montiert werden müssen. Dazu sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform vor, dass das Trägerelement der Endscheibe wenigstens einen zur Außenseite hin freiliegenden Dichtungskörper aufweist, der insbesondere durch eine Ausnehmung im Trägerelement der Endscheibe hindurch tritt und an der Innenseite der Endscheibe mit der Verbindungsschicht verbunden o~ der sogar einstückig mit dieser zusammen ausgebildet ist. Damit müssen keine weiteren Fertigungsschritte mehr vorgenommen werden. Nach dem Herstellen der Endscheibe mit ihren beiden Schichten und dem Anschweißen des Filterbalgs ist das Luftfiiterelement gemäß der Erfindung fertig gestellt. Zum Anschweißen wird ein Filterbalg mit seiner Stirnseite an einer Endschei- be angelegt. Ein transparentes Trägerelement, das heißt, ein Trägerelement, das zu einem überwiegenden Tei! durchlässig für die Lichtstrahlung einer eingesetzten Lasereinrichtung mit einer bestimmten Wellenlänge ist, wird durchstrahlt. Die durch das Trägerelement hindurch gelangte Laserstrahlung wird in der Verbindungsschicht zumindest in einem solchen Maße absorbiert, dass eine Erweichung oder ein Aufschmelzen der Verbindungsschicht erfolgt. Zeitdauer und Intensität der Bestrahlung werden so gewählt, dass eine möglichst schnelle Aufschmelzung erreicht wird, damit die Wärmeeinleitung in das benachbarte transparente Trägerelement möglichst gering gehalten wird und eine Verformung des transparenten Trägerelements weitgehend vermieden wird.
[0010] Ist die Verbindungsschicht erst einmal angeschmolzen, braucht der Filterbalg nur noch in die Schmelze hineingedrückt zu werden. Das Abkühlen führt zum Wiedererstarren der Verbindungsschicht, wobei mit der Erstarrung in die thermoplastische Masse Randbereiche des Fiiterbalgs eingebettet sind.
[0011] Vorzugsweise wird bei dem Herstellungsverfahren für ein vorstehend beschriebenes Luftfilterelement ein Aufnahmeelement eingesetzt, das wenigstens in denjenigen Teilbereichen ebenfalls laserlichtdurchlässig ist, hinter denen aufzuschmelzende Bereiche der Verbindungsschicht zu positionieren sind. Ansonsten bleibt das Herstellungsverfahren unverändert. Das Aufnahmeelement stützt die Endscheibe und trägt dazu bei, die Geometrie des Trägerelements unter Wärmeeinfluss beizubehalten. [0012] Insbesondere ist die Verwendung eines zusätzlichen Aufnahmeelements bei der Herstellung dann vorteilhaft, wenn Verbindungsschicht und Dichtungskörper einstückig hergestellt sind und ein Verbindungselement bilden. Der Dichtungskörper tritt dann an einer ringförmigen Durchbrechung der Endscheibe nach außen, wobei die Außenseite der Endscheibe im Herstellungsprozess stets die nach unten gekehrte Oberfläche ist. Ohne eine zusätzliche Abstützung könnte es zu einem Ausfließen der Schmelze und damit zu einer Zerstörung der bereits vorgeformten Dichtung kommen. Um dies zu verhindern, ist insbesondere unterhalb des nach außen durchtretenden Dichtungskörpers ein besonders profilierter Stützabschnitt des Aufnahmeelements positioniert.
[0013] Ein zusätzlicher Stützabschnitt kann in Form einer zyünderrohrförmigen Kante ausgebildet sein, welche im Inneren einer zentralen Ausnehmung in der ringförmigen Endscheibe positioniert ist und zwar mit einem Abstand in Bezug auf die Innenkante der ringförmigen Endscheibe, welcher der Dicke einer dort auszubildenden Dichtungslippe entspricht. Ohne einen zusätzlichen Stützabschnitt wäre die Ausbildung einer radial wirkenden Dichtungslippe an der Endscheibe nicht möglich. Das Aufnahmeelement für die Endscheibe stellt somit bei dieser Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eine Gießschale dar, welche zur Formbildung von Teilen des Dichtungskörpers bzw. des Verbindungskörpers beiträgt. Kurze Beschreibung der Zeichnungen
[0014] Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend mit Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert. Die Figuren zeigen im Einzelnen: Fig. 1 ein Filtereiement in perspektivischer Ansicht,
Fig. 2 ein Filterelement einer ersten Ausführungsform in einem Schnitt detail und Fig. 3 ein Filterelement einer zweiten Ausführungsform in einem Schnitt detail.
Ausführungsform(en) der Erfindung
[0015] Fig. 1 zeigt ein Luftfüterelement 10 mit einem zylinderrohrförmigen Filterbalg 11 aus einem luftdurchlässigen Filtermedium. An beiden Stirnseiten sind jeweils Endscheiben 20 aufgesetzt und luftdicht mit dem Filterbalg 11 verbunden. Wenigstens eine der Endscheiben 20 ist, zumindest im Gebrauchszustand des Luftfiiterelements 10, ringförmig ausgebildet, so dass ein zentraler innerer Strömungskanal geöffnet ist.
[0016] Fig. 2 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform einer Endscheibe 20 mit einem passenden Aufnahmeelement 200, in das sie eingesetzt ist. Die Endscheibe 20 umfasst ein unten liegendes Trägerelement 21 und eine darüber befindliche Verbindungsschicht 22.1. Ein Filterbalg 11 ist aufgesetzt. Das Aufnahmeelement 200 stützt einen Dichtungskörper 22.2 ab, der an einer Durchbrechung des äußeren Trägerelements 21 an der Endscheibe 20 nach außen tritt. Der Dichtυngskörper 22.2 ist mit der eigentlichen Verbindungsschicht 22.1 verbunden, so dass ein einstückiges Verbindungselement 22 ausgebildet ist, das mit dem Trägerelement 21 fest verbunden ist.
[0017] Aufnahmeelement 200 und Trägerelement 21 der Endscheibe 20 sind durchlässig für das Laserlicht, das gemäß den Pfeilen in Fig. 2 von unten her eingestrahlt wird und bis in die Verbindungsschicht 22.1 gelangt, wo es absorbiert wird. Anschließend braucht lediglich noch der Filterbalg 11 in die so erzeugte Schmelze in der Verbindungsschicht 22.1 eingesenkt zu werden und der Vorgang für die andere Seite des Filterbalgs wiederholt werden, um die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Luftfilterelements abzuschließen.
[0018] Fig. 3 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer Endscheibe 20" mit einer zugehörigen Aufnahme 200'. Wiederum ist ein axialer Dichtungsabschnitt 22,2' durch einen Stützabschnitt 202' des Aufnahmeelements 200' abgestützt. Unterschiedlich ist hier die aufwendigere Profilierung im Innenbereich der Endscheibe 20'. Ein innerer Ringabschnitt 23' der Endscheibe 20' soll wenigstens teilweise an seine Mantelfläche mit einer Lippendichtung überdeckt werden. Hierzu ist ein Stützabschnitt 203' an dem Aufnahmeelement 200" ausgebildet, der als Matrize zur Ausbildung der Lippendichtung dient. Zwischen dem Ringabschnitt 23' und dem Stützabschnitt 203' des Aufnahmeelements 200' ist eine Kavität 205' ausgebildet, in welcher die Lippendichtung ausgebildet wird. [0019] Das Trägerelement 21' der Endscheibe 20' wie auch das Aufnahmeeiement 200' sind wiederum durchlässig für Laserlicht einer bestimmten Wellenlänge, das von unten her durch das Aufnahmeelement 200' und das Trägerelement 21' gestrahlt wird, bis die Verbindungsschicht 22' aufschmilzt. Um die innere Abdichtung gegenüber dem Filterbalg 11 ausbilden zu können, muss eine weitgehende Aufschmelzung der Verbindungsschicht 22" erreicht werden, damit die Schmelze nicht nur in den Hohlraum oberhalb des Stützabschnitts 202' fließt, der zur Ausbildung eines Dichtungskörpers 22.2' vorgesehen ist, sondern auch in die Kavität 205' hineinläuft. Nach dem Auskühlen und dem Erstarren der Schmelze in der Verbindungsschicht 22' ist zum einen der Filterbalg 11 mechanisch fest mit der Trägerelement 21' der Endscheibe 20' verbunden. Zum anderen ist eine kombinierte Dichtung ausgebildet, die einen radialen Lippendichtungsabschnitt wie einen Ringdichtungsabschnitt um- fasst.
[0020] In dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist am Ringabschnitt 23' des Trägerelements 20ι ein Vorsprung vorgesehen, der ein Verrasten der Endscheibe 20' an einem kompatiblen Vorsprung am Ringabschnitt 203' des Aufnahmeelements 200' ermöglicht. Die Endscheibe 20' Hegt damit während des gesamten Herstellungsvorgangs in einer definierten Lage am Aufnahmeelement 200' an, sodass insbesondere auch die Dichtigkeit an den Übergängen gewährt ist und ein unkontrolliertes Ausfließen von Schmelze verhindert wird.
